Featherstar approached the Highrock with a sense of pride building in her chest. She was about to conduct her first apprentice ceremony as a leader, and she had the perfect match-ups in mind.
But as her paws carried her closer to the Highrock, it seemed as though a shadow was beginning to fall over her. What if she'd made some error? What if she'd judged not only her warriors but her apprentices wrongly? It would be all her fault if an apprentice and mentor ended up not getting along, and you know what they say: the mentor makes the apprentice.
She gulped softly, and shook herself. She was being ridiculous. She'd seen Smokestar do the same ritual dozens of times, including at her own apprenticement ceremony, and nobody had been paying more attention that day than she!
She cleared her throat. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join together at the Highrock for a Clan meeting!"
